Hi Prudence,

The challenge asks for you to set the top left and bottom left, to achieve this we first need to understand the order of border-radius values which are.

  • top-left
  • top-right
  • bottom-right
  • bottom-left

Knowing this we can safely assume our first and last values need to be 5px while our second and third values need to be 0 as the top right and bottom right borders don't need a radius.

.main-nav li:first-child {
  border: none;
  border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
}

Border radius on MDN

Happy coding!
